I feel like TBDM was under that umbrella. Miasma came out in 2005, and that album put them on the map. I don't know how old you are, but all these mid-2000s albums breaking around the same time often just lumped bands into it. Also I remember LoG specifically, and very minimally TBDM as well, often had people arguing what genre they are. The most important argument!
For LoG it was a question of "are they metalcore or thrash" and then someone would come in and say "they're groove metal". I swear some people called TBDM metalcore at some point, which was probably death metal purists scoffing at them. So I feel like if you were considered metalcore, or adjacent enough, in some circles then you were under that term.

I started paying attention to contemporary metal bands about halfway through high school, so like 2006. I guess looking back on it I'm basing this off of who everyone sat with lol I'd sit with my scene kid friends who all had like TDWP and TBDM or AILD shirts, and there was another group of metalheads who had like Shadows Fall and Lamb of God shirts, so I always assumed that was NWOAHM. They were cool though, one dude had an actual medically necessary eye patch.
